Valve's Banhammer Now Available to Developers
-----------Permanent bans planned for "disruptive players."
Valve has pledged to help reduce the number of players who are cheating during online games. The company now has given game developers the power to permanently ban "disruptive players" from their games.
This was discovered by MCV after being spotted on the Steam Community.
"Playing games should be fun. In order to ensure the best possible online multiplayer experience, Valve allows developers to implement their own systems that detect and permanently ban any disruptive players, such as those using cheats," the official post reads.
According to them, the developers will be the ones that implement and manage the bans they issue.
"Game developers inform Valve when a disruptive player has been detected in their game, and Valve applies the game ban to the account. The game developer is solely responsible for the decision to apply a game ban. Valve only enforces the game ban as instructed by the game developer."
Recently Valve implemented paid mods, which were removed just a few days after.
